35 Pics That Sum Up What The ’70s Were Like

Yes but the young picture, she has that look of "dad's gonna kill him when he finds out what we did."

... and baked. :)

that is why it is character that counts...not beauty

*features! Sorry

Look, at 6AM, in the dark, when everyone else was still asleep, my TEETH worked just fine, lol. I think I can trace my problems with food back to this chocolate cocaine.

But the knife sucks at scooping piles of powder into the glass. (♪like 10,000 knives when all you need is a spoooon")

Parents still have the slightly dinted and bent knife from these tins.

50's kid here. Using only a spoon, Quik was effectively *impossible* to dissolve in cold milk.

My technique was always powder in the glass first, pour the milk about a third way up the glass, stir that first creating somewhat of a "concentrate" then pour the rest of the milk in, few more stirs to get it all in there. Same as making hot chocolate from a packet.

I was looking for an ice cream comment. You did not disappoint me. :)

Agreed. I have a relative who ordered pre-sanitized sand for their child's sandbox because they didn't want said child being exposed to too many germs. Guess what? That kid was CONSTANTLY sick.

Definitely. Due to unnecessary alterations done to me to conceal my being intersex, I was left with a state of perpetual infections that persists to this day. And surprise! I am effectively immune to nearly all bacterial infections as a result, since my body knows damn well how to handle them. I've seen bad food make people around me get horribly ill and very nearly hospitalize them when that same food just gives me a single bout of diarrhea.

"Killing all bacteria, bad", and totally pointless.

Yeah, but those towels were so, so gross. And always, already wet. 🤢

Oh well, as long as it's a belief, that matters. Phew, someone send the scientists home

long proven fact that anti-bacterial soaps are bad because they also kill the good bacteria.

And stained

60's for me

I had forgotten about the smell, but it's getting back to me now. And also some metal smell from the pistol!

I had them in the 50s.

Things sometimes stay around..

50s

Had these in the 50s.

I get the little twists now for my granddaughter - 50 cents a box.

Yep, had one of those.

It seemed like a cool idea, but I always thought the sound of the cap was drowned out by the sound of the metal 'bomb' hitting the sidewalk.

Yup. We travelled a LOT (parents in a band) in the '60s and '70s. I had a vax record literally an arm long before I was 20.

Got mine in the military from "jet gun injectors" on both arms at once. If you flinched, you ended up with scars that would never disappear...

Same

Myself as well, although mine was from military service ( usmc)

U can only get small pox once,I think

I do. Had it since 1962.

I also have two, because smallpox epidemic in Yugoslavia in early '70es (I live in Trieste)

Born in 1956 and I don't remember even having a scar!!

Unfortunately that would not have protected you from smallpox.
